What's on your menu today, RNY-ers?

Hi OH friends,

Greetings from warm DC.  Only until tomorrow night when we plummet to the 30s with Winter Storm Vulcan on his way!  LOL.  I had a great day with another great loss showing up on the scale this morning.  My workouts are getting more intense and I am actually ENJOYING them.  RNY is the best gift I ever gave myself.

Time Since Surgery: 12 weeks, 2 days

B: Two hard boiled eggs

L: Leftovers from dinner.  One al fresco jalepeno chicken sausage (130 calories, 14 g protein) with a few pasta zero noodles that have garlic, a spritz of olive oil, and a tbsp of parmesan cheese

D: TBD - meeting up with my old boss.  

S: If I am not at my protein goal, I will have a protein hot chocolate tonight.  Breakfast and lunch are only 323 calories, 28 g of protein, and 4 g of carbs so it looks like a protein shake is definitely in order.

E: Today is a day off

V: One multi, one vitamin D, and two Calcium Citrates down the hatch

What's on your menu today?  Em

Your doing great DCGirl ! Your pasta zero noodles look delicious, I'm going to give them a try.

Thank you!  I feel pretty great :)  I was LOLing @liver and onions.  When we were kids and we would pester my mom about what was for dinner (incessantly) sometimes she would get fed up and yell "liver and onions!".  We would laugh hysterically at the thought of people eating liver and onions (we had no idea liver was eaten, and as kids we hated onions).  When I was older and learned that was actually a food, it cracked me up!

I love dill pickles too.  I also add dill relish to my tuna.  Yum! 

Well.. Went to bed at around 11pm last night. Woke up to babysit at 330am. I had a green tea with lemon juice. We went back to sleep til 930. I gave him a banana and dry cereal and I felt nauseous so I havent eaten yet. His Mom  is picking him up any minute so Im debating what to eat. I need to lose 40 lbs.

Hey Kenyatta - good call on going with the flow.  Sorry everything isn't amazing.  As I said before, relationships are a lot of damn work!  LOL

Yeah, we have cold coming Thursday, although not snow.  I'm sorry winter is dragging so much!  Your mood will greatly improve when Spring comes.  Keep in mind how far you have come!  

Hi DCgirl, Congrats on the weight loss, your workouts and due diligence is for sure paying off!!

I just wanted to share that my husband bought me a Fitbit Zip on the weekend and now I don't know how I have lived with out this little gem!!! I love it!! Yesterday it logged me as 11,919 steps = 8.14 kms!! Just thrilled!!!  It goes on my bra strap as soon as I get out of the shower in the morning and I don't take it off until I crawl into bed.  Just love it!! Got it off of Amazon and it totally rocks!!

Have a great day all,

Daisy 

Thanks, Daisy!  We have almost lost the same amount and you are only four weeks ahead of me AND I have so much more to lose!  YOU are doing great!

Amen on the FitBit.  I have the FitBit One and I am addicted.  Wait until you forget it one day.  You will be soooo mad.  I love tracking and trying to increase steps each day.  I now walk the long way home from places just to increase my distance.  I get a weekly digest email too - that's the best to see an email that last week you walked 30 miles (km).  Seriously, it's so motivating!  

Sorry to hear about your snow.  This winter is never-ending.  

15 days post op Last day of liquid diet (fingers crossed)

B - 4 scoops beneprotien, 2 tsp jello instant pudding mix (sugar free) 1/2 c almond milk

L - 4 scoops beneprotien, 2 tsp jello instant pudding mix (sugar free) 1/2 c almond milk

Yay, Regina!  You are in the home stretch!  I know I was SO happy on day 14 post-op when i could have tuna, or egg salad, or chicken salad.  Just chew chew chew.  Nothing has bothered me yet :)
